A week and a half ago, I hosted a holiday card party (in our unfinished house, yikes!). For all you snazzy, crafty types, I clarify: not a party where one makes cards but a party where one signs and addresses cards. Yeup. If you get cards from us, they’re purchased in a box and signed while downing mulled wine and good cheese amid friends. Is that not the holiday spirit?

Anyhoo…I managed to snap only a few pics and this one is my favorite, of a neighbor’s delicious baby boy. Isn’t it amazing how fast they grow!?Here he is just months ago at a summer BBQ.

Thanks for hosting a wonderful party and your house is coming along nicely. You both have put a lot of thought and time into it. Tell Chris, he only gets away with not recognizing me one time! Hope to see you soon. Have a Merry Christmas! love you both, Debbie
